Carlos Bulosan discusses "America" -- what it represents for him; its reality: ugly, cruel, racist, exploitative, corrupt and corrupting -- and the hope it represents for him, many times in this memoir.
Concentrate on finding passages where America / "America" -- the place and/or the idea of "America" in Bulosan's mind -- is substantively discussed (i.e. not simply mentioned).
Pick one passage in each of parts Two, Three, and Four.
Part Two is Chapters 13 - 25, pp. 97- 189; Part Three: Chapters 26 - 37, pp. 193 - 261; Part Four: Chapters 38 - 49, pp. 265 - 327.
Discuss the contradictions in Bulosan's thinking about America and "America" in these three passages. Analyze each passage closely. Do not retype it or quote very much.
